Corey Neilson was disappointed to see his team “take their foot off the gas" against Braehead Clan, but he was delighted with five good periods – and four points – this weekend for Nottingham Panthers.

Panthers were 3-0 up at the Motorpoint Arena and should have beaten the injury hit Scots by a bigger margin, but Neilson did not want that to detract from a fine response to the news he will leave the club at the end of the season.
